Elegant and beautifully balanced, this has black cherry, pomegranate, liquorice and spice flavours, seasoned with the most delicate touch of oak and Garnacha's natural delicate pepperiness. From a single vineyard planted in 1927 in the village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, this is a comparatively rare varietal Garnacha from the Rioja Alta sub-region. Rated 95/100 by James Suckling: "a phenomenal wine" and 92/100 by The Wine Advocate: "a great vintage of finesse, really spectacular and improving in the glass."

Winemaking
Traditional winemaking, with the grapes 100% destemmed. Fermented with indigenous yeast selected from their own vineyards. Maceration of 21 days with reduced frequency of pump-overs to avoid the extraction of bitter characters. Aged for 12.5 months in 225-litre barrels of which 15% is new French oak, and the remaining 85% in one year old barrels.
Our Expert Food Recommendation
A super-authentic choice would be Patatas a la Riojana (potato stew with tomato, chorizo and slow-cooked pork). Also great with more everyday dishes such as grilled sausages, roast chicken or homemade baked beans.
